"my prayer"
  by RA1N


My elders used to always tell me
GOD wants you to have a testimony
That’s why he put you to a test
He wants you to progress
And surpass your tribulation
And make onto a success
So you can confess
What he brought you from
Because there is someone
Beating your old war drum
And wish to be brought
To a silence
So your job is to dispence
How you over came
Your past events
You must realize
Everything you go though
Only gives you strength
But I have expanded my knowledge
By looking back on the past
Like how I learned
From Adam take heed
And be not deceived
I learned from Cain
To restrain from jealousy
I learned from Jonah
That I can’t run away
I must obey
I learned from job (j-oe-b)
If I stay righteous
Though anything
God will give me blessings
I learned from Judas
That anyone of my friends
May betray me in the end
I learned by actions of Lucifer
That compared to god
Everything is inferior
And I was reborn though Jesus
Your only begotten son
Who shed his blood
To set us free
To think someone was crucified
To save me
Sometimes I wonder why
Why will let himself die
Under homicide for I
Suddenly I remembered what I seen
In 1st Thessalonians 5:17
Which say pray?
Without ceasing
So I close my eyes
And search my mind
To find
That I’m carrying
A lot of burdens
Chain to each part of my body
Which is too heavy
For me to access the abilities
Of my body parts
So lord I pray
And beg that hear what I say

Please lord
When I move
It seem like the road
Is not fit for my shoes
Every time I try
To move 1 step forward
I take 3 steps back
And now I am covering
My old tracks
I’m walking in my own shadows
But I don’t want to follow
My old ways
And then the lord
Wind blows on me
And took his 2 edged sword
And cut the chain off my legs

The devil tries to get me
In the boxing ring
And testing
My patients
And my arms fall
Victim of his plan
And my fist ball
Up so I can make him
Feel my pain
Which is insane
I want to be untamed by this anger
And then god appear as no stranger
And took his 2 edged sword
And cut the chain off my arms

My eyes have become blind
By the things that confined
My past
And no long am I capable to see
What is really happening
And I am afraid to open them
Because I think I’m going to see
What’s killing me inside
Then gods comes from behind
And took his 2 edged sword
And cut the chain from my eyes


Now my heart me
As if I’m alone
Like a stone
In the desert
With no dreams
no love
No hopes
No life
And making my life take a left
Whenever I feel im doing right
And then god came out though
The light and took his 2 edged sword
And cut the chain off my heart

And now lord my mind
Remind me every night
How much mankind
Tries to define my life
Try to bring me down
From my heights
And I think im starting
To believe
What they say
Then god told me
Not to be afraid
And took his 2 edged sword
And cut the chain off my mind

Now I use my legs to walk
With Jesus
Instead of using my arms
To give the devil
The back hand
I use them to get hold
Of gods hands
Cause he fight my battles
I now use my eyes
To see the light surrounding me
I know in my heart
That people is there for me
And my mind is clear of all things

So im sending you this poem
No this is my prayer
My testimony
to give you thanks
That you looked at me
And clearly saw
That it was hard for me
To carry so much tragedy
It feels like I’m free from
All the thing that was hurting
Paining, killing me
On the inside thank you
And I hope that people is hearing
What you brought me from
If they sold their soul
He can always buy you a new one
He can remake you
He can give you a second life
Just come up and testify
That he is the son of god
And then get baptized
I need you lord and thank you
in jesus name
Amen
